I didn't say it was pretty......

And maybe a clipped planchet too..

    well, it still doesn't make it less ugly. image

    I suppose this is a NewP for your Die Marriage set?
    You must be close, if not past, half-way with R5 and tougher Die Marriages by now? No?

    was that the one the seller first listed with the (incorrect) reverse of a bust dime?

    That may be a genuine clip, the obverse looks promising, but there is so much wear and damage that I don't know if you can really tel for sure. Either way the clip is of secondary concern if it is an R-6 die marriage. You're getting really good at this cherrypicking thing. image

    Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.
